Derby is a yellow cheese with a firm texture similar to that of Cheddar. It is now less well-known than its colorful relative, Sage Derby. Mass-production of this product has led to the deterioration of the quality of most Sage Derby, but ours is still the real thing. The coloring is done using spinach juice like most Sage Derby, but this dairy mixes actual chopped sage leaves into the cheese curd, rather than mixing sage powder into the milk like most companies do. This results in a fresher sage flavor, and it is this flavor that lends Sage Derby its charm.

A very different cheese indeed. Can taste the herbal notes. Would go nicely with a Pinot Grigio.

Good!

Exactly as Promised

The cheese was delivered on time and was well packaged. The cheese is delicious. I will be ordering again!

Really bland

I had this a few years back, and ordered it again. It seems to have downgraded in quality, and you really couldn't taste the sage, and the cheese itself was very bland. Wouldn't buy again.

Fantastic Quality

I have been wanting to try the Sage Derby for a long time. I received my order right away and was not disappointed. I shared some with friends & family and they loved it too. Will definitely order again!

Heavenly!

My son and his wife fell in love with this cheese! They melted it over garlic bread as a side to their spaghetti. They want more :-D I will be buying this again and again!

Nice flavor, prompt shipping

The cheese arrived right on time, just when we needed it. I used it for a fondue that has never tasted better.

good cheese

It was good, but I could barely taste the sage.

Wonderful

A cheese that is lightly salty, but not overwhelming salty. A lovely balance of cheese flavor and sage flavor.
